Green Cleaning Product Range Launched

March 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Cleaning Supplies UK (www.cleaningsuppliesuk.com) has launched a new range of environmentally friendly cleaning products, featuring top brands such as Ecover.

The new range has been established amid increased public concern over the risk of chemical-based products. Harsh agents and especially those intended for use in industry can cause skin irritation, breathing difficulties or other adverse health conditions, unlike their greener counterparts.

According to a recent study by Asthma UK, cleaning products such as bleach, air fresheners and disinfectant can contribute to wheezing in young children. Youngsters exposed to high levels of chemical-based products while in the womb are said to be more than twice as likely to wheeze throughout their life.

Research conducted by Dr. Alexandra Farrow from the Brunel University School of Health Sciences and Social Care, shows similar results. The study concluded that exposure to household cleaning agents could be linked to a 41% rise in children developing asthma by age seven.

It is unsurprising that industry leading brands such as Ecover are experiencing growth, with CEO Mick Bremans recently being named as “one of the world’s most sustainable business leaders”.

Some of the green cleaning products currently available include: dishwashing liquid, toilet cleaner, glass spray, surface cleaner and hand soap, all of which are routinely used in the household and many businesses. Despite being more expensive, it is clear many consumers are willing to pay a little extra for the health benefits such products may provide.
